Video

Hey Rob, good to see you! Yeah, it's a handy little thing to have. I'm looking at what other more engaging angles I can get while potentially not breaking anything in the car.

@@MyalismFilms Looks like a very adaptable tool for sure! Yeah don’t let it hurt your car any more. 😄

Thank you! They are a lot of fun to use and actually super practical. Have fun using yours! What are you planning to shoot first with it?

Gracias!

Thank you, Austin!

Thank you! Just some solo cinematography practice! I used an ND 16 from Hoya and the 20% Cinebloom from Moment.

@@MyalismFilms Did you do a lot of post processing to the image? How did you get the soft edges?

@@limitedmeansproductions6725 I have a couple of nodes in Resolve that I've used to adjust the hue, shadows, highlights, contrast, gamma and gain and on a few shots I have the Glow fx to emphasize what's already there, but for the majority it's just the Cinebloom softening the edges. There is a grain filter on top of everything and two LUT's - one is a Kodak, the other is a "cinematic" teal and orange. I'll add that to the video breakdown I plan on doing soon.

There is more footage coming soon! I've been shooting extensively with the Moment and some of the upcoming videos will showcase that.

Thank you for the kind words! I haven't come across the books you mentioned, but I will take you up on the recommendation! Thank you! Always appreciate a good book and even more from a fellow editor! Any particular book you are looking to start first from the ones I mentioned? I'd love to hear your thoughts! I just wrapped up Foundations of Screenwriting and am spending time with In The Blink of an Eye. Fascinating so far! Good luck on your journey as well! P.S. Your motion graphic skills are 🔥! I've been tinkering in Fusion with some simple ones, but yours are great inspiration!

Yes I'm actually just about finished a reread of blink of an eye. And was going to check out art of the cut. And I've also read save the cat and steal like an artist and enjoyed both. I've honestly got 3 books on the go atm and like 20 on the read list haha 😅 However I'm actually particularly interested in essay style story structure at the moment rather than script because I want to get better at passing on information haha. Ive just looked up fusion and I'm shocked to say I've never heard of it! I do like that it's node based. Perhaps I shall check it out one day. 😊

Tell me about it! I'm reading a book for work in the mornings, then switching to storytelling/editing in the evening and trying to save some time on the weekends for fiction...and there's the backlog I have of started but not yet finished books. I actually first started listening to Art of the Cut catching up with the older episodes, but I know the book is also really good. I'll be either jumping in it or Cut to the Monkey after In the Blink. Haven't decided yet. What are some good recommendations on essay style story structure? On Fusion, it's very interesting to learn, sometimes it can be intimidating because even if you say want to replicate an effect that someone has done in Ae, you gotta know your nodes and how to connect them. I've done some small graphics and even thought of uploading a short compilation on the channel. But overall I want to use more graphics whenever possible in certain videos. God bless YT tutorials for that!

@MyalismFilms I just skimmed a book called level up your essays. It was good. But It was mainly geared towards uni students. There's so many writing styles! Everything has a little bit unique to take in. so I'm working my way through finding the decent ones lol

Thank you Cristian!

That's what comes straight from the camera! Resolution is 640 x 480 & focal length is about 35-128mm. Kinda the perfect match for simulating film. The only downside is you have about 10 min of video, but for short clips it's perfect.

Awesome! Hope you have fun! Let me know which you liked the most!

Nice choice! I believe for the anamorphic, you have to make sure it's perfectly aligned with your camera and mounted horizontally. If you have a phone case on, try without one. Are you using Filmic Pro to capture your footage? Anamorphic needs to be desqueezed. Filmic has an anamorphic setting for easy use. Less headaches too. Though for Android phones, there are always headaches with filming apps! 😁

@@MyalismFilms Thanks so much! I'll try with the Filmic Pro app and hope I get some better results. Thanks again - you're the only CZcamsr I can find using the exact same equipment so you're a godsend! lol

@@lalalakia Let me know if it works! We can troubleshoot from there if needed.

​@@MyalismFilmsThanks! Still having issues - any way to troubleshoot via dm?

Which lens are you trying to use it with? Also, what aspect ratio? I don't have an anamorphic at hand to try it myself, but vignetting or slight distortion are sometimes common, although they shouldn't be too strong or noticable to make your footage unwatchable.

Thank you! Hope you found useful bits among the vids!

How does it compare to the Moment one in your opinion?

Thank you for the kind comment! I believe I picked up the K&F from a local store and they seem to have run out of that sizing option. The 18 piece pack is handy to have, but with the Beastgrip you can only go as far as a 58mm, and the 52 is still the sweet spot, unless you detach the mount part of it and use an external filter mount like this one: www.shopmoment.com/products/open-box67mm-filter-mount/ But if you want to stick to the original setup, then a 37 to 52 mm step up is the only one you'll need. I think you should be fine with pretty much any step up ring on the market, but of the more solid ones, Cokin & Sensei are ones that come to mind which are both available on the B&H website: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=37-52mm%20step%20up%20ring%20adapter&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ps There's also an Amazon fan favorite called Fotodiox Metal Step Up Ring, which is a cheap option. I've found that using the older lens plates (the wider ones) with no rubber protection and the step up ring gives me more room to cover more cameras. I should probably make a video on that as well...

@MyalismFilms Wow! I'm so grateful for this information that you have shared. I'm new to lens filter, and the links along with your explanation (simple to understand yet concise) helped me a ton. I am likely to go with the original setup. I will definitely do my own homework by checking out the Cokin, Sensei and Fotodiox. Thank you once again, and I will look out for your next video notification. Cheers. 😁👍

@bwtan7833 Happy to help! If you have other questions, feel free to ask! In the meantime - happy filming!

Hey, hey! Thank you for the comment! Storage can be a pain, I know. Inbuilt one has limitations. No storage expansion means your phone gets full pretty fast. I usually have an SSD with me or a flash drive, so if I start running out of storage, I can easily transfer videos on the go. I also try to film shorter clips, so the size of one file is not massive. Much easier to work with and transfer smaller file sizes. I've noticed that for videos like this one, I rarely go above 10 GB, and for short film projects, between 10 and 15 gb, all 4k videos. I make sure that before I shoot anything, I have enough free space and if I don't, I migrate files to my PC or SSD prior to filming - my filming device is my personal one, so space is always clutch. A 500 gb SSD has been really helpful to keep working files on. Once I finish filming, I transfer everything and then delete it off my phone. I can whip up a video with these and more tips, sure!

I feel ya! While I enjoy the freedom and versitility of mobile apps, I started to get agitated especially on longer videos, and I started seeing more bugs on my Android tablet. I think it's really cool for light editing and some video effects and still very useful as a skill. Just not for long-term video editing purposes.

Even with the 20 it's not as blown out as some people say. I'll be testing it more, hopefully, with a full video soon.

Not really. It's the YT compression mostly. Check these out I posted to Twitter - same filter and phone twitter.com/MyalismFilms/status/1637495155031670788?t=unc9WpnTKTF7fgXzNDkklg&s=19

Yes! You can adjust the length and height to fit the s21 :)

@@MyalismFilms oh okay thanks
